During Apple's "Far Out" event today the company unveiled new models of the Apple Watch and iPhone, and as is customary, we're also getting a fresh batch of accessories to match the new hardware.

Starting with the newest Apple Watch band styles, Apple introduced three bands designed for the Apple Watch Ultra. Still, Apple's website does note that the bands are compatible with 44mm and 45mm case sizes of previous generation Apple Watch models.

First is the Alpine Loop, which comes in Orange, Starlight, and Green. This band costs $99.00 and is made from two textile layers woven together into one continuous piece.

Next is the Trail Loop in Yellow/Beige, Blue/Grary, and Black/Gray. It also costs $99.00 and is made from a soft nylon weave with a pull tab for quick adjustments.

Last is the Ocean Band in Yellow, White, and Midnight. It's $99.00 and molded in a high performance elastomer with tubular geometry allowing it to stretch to a perfect fit, even over a wetsuit.

All of these bands are tailored for harsh environments and built to meet the needs of demanding athletes and outdoor hobbyists.

The next group of bands represent new colors for band styles that we've seen in previous years, Starting with the Solo Loop ($49.00) in Succulent, Sunglow, Midnight, Storm Blue, and Starlight.

Ah the article MR members have been waiting for!

 

[DTphonehome]

It should be noted that the Ultra bands will work on 44 and 45mm watches too. And 44 and 45 mm bands will work on the Ultra.

Ordered the new midnight sport loop. Really love the way it looks.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Is anyone missing the Stainless Steel Band?

 

[mansplains]

That umber leather link looks like a pack of hot dogs or sausages!

It's a shame you can't pick any band with a red watch in the Studio, and that the you need to pick a red band first in order to even see the red case option.

where is stainless steel band

And price increases across the board here in Denmark

I ordered the Ultra. I currently have a lot of 44/45mm solo bands, size 8 (from apple or third party) that fit perfectly. will the size 8 on the ultra fit the same or it will be tighter or loose?

According to Apple, only Ultra bands will fit the Ultra watches.

You can still find it if you go through 'create your style'. This is what I've done, as was hoping for the SS/SS band combo.

 

[ksloth]

Can't imagine spending that much cash on the higher end bands. $800+ ?? Wow.

 

[DotCom2]

Where are the purple bands to match the Pro Purple? Hhhhhh

 

[Zadigre]

According to Apple, only Ultra bands will fit the Ultra watches.

good to know... hopefully they will release other styles and colors. That said, I'm sure we will see third party bands quite fast on Amazon or AliExpress.

I noticed that. I'm really digging the Alpine Loop and Trail Loop. Really curious to see how the fit actually looks on a 45mm watch.

And same for 42/44/45mm bands on the new Ultra.

 

[DogHouseDub]

Watches keep getting bigger, bands stay the same size.

 

[swingerofbirch]

I only just recently purchased my first Apple Watch (Series 7, 41 mm). If only they released a LONGER Apple Watch band. I meet the guidelines for whom the 41 mm should fit, but it just barely fits on the last notch--not comfortable. Really difficult to find longer bands even from third party companies as everyone seems to copy Apple. Why do they have so many bands but so few size options? I've been googling this since purchase and it seems to be a common issue.

Is anyone missing the Stainless Steel Band?

Milanese Loop or Link Bracelet? I still see them on the store. This article only mentions the new bands.

 

[_Spinn_]

Really like that Midnight Solo Loop

 

[ufgatorvet]

Sorry I must have not taken my smart pills today, but how does the Alpine Loop tighten or work exactly?

 

[TheWatchfulOne]

Well. They came up with three new styles, which is cool. But, is it just me, or is every new batch of bands less interesting than the previous batch? It seems there are fewer colors available every time and the desirable new colors are mostly just a shade off from the previously available colors. Or the new colors are not desirable at all. Is nobody at Apple enthusiastic about designing watch bands?

I don't like the look of the leather link in any color. But now it appears golden brown has gone away and the umber is... blah. Why can't they go back to the leather loop. I missed out on getting that one. Bummer.

Remember the wide variety of styles and colors for bands that were available for the very first Apple Watch?

Based on the side shot of the Ultra, it seems to be like the sport loop, but with a metallic closure hook instead of velcro.

 

[ufgatorvet]

Now I see ... I was staring at it wrong, like one of those Rorschach pictures. The Rorschach loop.

It seems like it would be more difficult to put on that the sport loop ... no?

Thank you.

Same here, looked all over Amazon, also wrote directly to several manufacturers…all said ‘sorry’ no longer than Apple OEM sizes. Buy the band couplers, have a leathersmith make you a longer leather band is my only suggestion

I’ve really enjoyed the previous Nike Sport Loop, in part because of its subtlety. I may have to buy a backup, because the new Just Do It version looks a bit too advertise-y for my tastes.

No idea why  can’t make a black black Sport Loop. 🤷🏻‍♂️
